COVID-19 Digital Campus: A living lab for digital technologies

TU Delft does everything it can to offer its employees and students a safe place to work and study. Social distancing is new to everyone, and much is still unknown. This is why TU Delft has initiated a unique project in which researchers and TU Delft services together explore and apply new technologies to support the ‘1.5 meter campus’. These applications of technology make new scientific research possible and can offer practical use for the management of TU Delft. Researchers are working on four concepts: an outdoor crowd dashboard, an indoor crowd dashboard, a 'conversational agent' and mathematical models of human contact networks. At first glance, the projects seem to be separate from each other, but the strength lies in their combination.
